All about me... again!

   My enthusiastic friend's welcome back! Since We have been gone for so long, I will reintroduce myself. I'm Mackena Modafferi and I am Italian. I'm not sure I mentioned that before. But my mom's side is from carpi and my dad's side is from Sicily. I have a huge obsession for animals and want to pursue my career in the medical field helping them. Another thing about me is my love for the beach! The way the waves crash, the sun beating on your skin, the way your face gets sun kissed. It's the only thing I truly love about Florida. And we all know my thoughts on Florida... I have two whole cases full of seashells that I have collected at the beach. I'm a huge hoarder when it comes to seashells. Something I also enjoy doing is hanging out with my friends. I have a best friend named Riley. She is someone I will be friends with for a long time. The next thing I am going to be working on is my final task! In my final task I will be making a two-minute opening to my very own movie with my group members. So these next few blogs will be my journey completing that.  But that's all for today. The journey isn't over yet! See you soon my enthusiastic friends!

The process of each shot!

Image
                Hello there my enthusiastic friends! In today's blog I will be talking about how we finished the solo shots. The day that we filmed our first few shots I was not in them because we didn't have a guy who would be in the video. But now we have my friend Connor who agreed to be part of the music video. So, my part is being caught cheating with Marissa's boyfriend. And that now boyfriend is Connor. And all of this will be discussed in my next blog. But in today's blog I had finished up looking at the last two solo shots we filmed which were in scenes six and nine. In scene six  Riley comes to Marissa's room to console her. And then Marissa gives her a hug and thanks her.  That scene is a solo shot as Riley is filmed alone opening the door to Marissa's room then Marissa appears in view. And then they are both seen together hugging and talking. In scene nine t here is a wide shot showing the firefighters playing music...

Production blog: The schedule

Image
                Welcome back my enthusiastic friend's! In today's blog I will be discussing the schedule for all members in my music video. So, to refresh, in my music video I will have Riley, Marissa and Peyton. The only problem is that our storyline requires a guy. So, in order to film multiple scenes, we need to find a guy to play the role of the boyfriend and the cheater. As our story line is a love triangle! As well as a heartfelt love story with a cool ending! And when it comes to the schedule, it's going to be difficult to work around. Riley has a job and Peyton lives far from our filming location. So, finding a day where Riley is off of work and Peyton has a ride will be a struggle. But we were able to film at the Fire Station today which was awesome because we got the first few scenes done. We did have to go out of order because we don't have a guy to fulfill the role yet. We were thinking about using our friend Connor. The only...

Movie Research: The Glass Onion!

Image
 My enthusiastic friends!! In today's blog I will be discussing the last movie research I did and that was on the glass onion! Although there is a wide variety of camera angles and shots, I found that the most used two in this movie are high and low angles. A low angle is used to make the actor appear powerful or threatening. While a high angle is used to make the actor appear insignificant or vulnerable. However, a few establishing shots are used to show the environment in which the guest is in. The use of diegetic sounds is present when something eerie is about to happen. The sound of the doors shutting and lights flickering. Non-diegetic sounds are the sounds used when someone is running away from another, the dramatic music that follows. The lighting tends to become darker when something is about to happen, while the sun is out, and the lighting improves when a good outcome happens.   The movie had lots of props to add to the storyline. The use of a weapon to protect the ...
